Subsequent pressesof the button, however, will result in a full stitch,always ending in the up position.Reset HomeThe Home position of any design depends on howthe design was originally created. It is the point inthe design where X=0 and Y=0. Sometimes that isthe start of a design, other times it may be in themiddle or any other point in the design or aroundthe design.Some digital designers intentionally use the Homelocation for positioning purposes. If this is the case,the quilter can move the needle to the locationon the quilt indicated by the pattern designer andpress the Reset Home button to position the designrelative to the Home position (Figure 4.17). TheReset Home button may also be used as a roughpositioning tool.For example, if the design is off the screen becausethe quilting machine has been moved to a newlocation, pressing the Reset Home button will bringthe design closer to the current crosshair position.CAUTION: Reset Home is a repositioning tool. Donot use it if the design has already been positionedin its proper location.Figure 4.15Figure 4.16Figure 4.17
